messin' with my sons, Jed and Luke."
She looks through the screen door and sees two men in their
twenties.
"Okay", she says.
After they have gone to bed for the night the woman begins to get a
little horny just thinking about the two boys in the room next to her.
So, she went into their room and says, "Boys, how would you like for
me
to teach you the ways of the world?"
They say, "Huh?"
She says, "The only thing is, I don't want to get pregnant, so you
have to wear these rubbers." She puts them on the boys, and the three
of them go at it all night long.
Forty years later, Jed and Luke are sitting on the front porch,
rocking back and forth. Jed says, "Luke?" Luke says, "Yeah, Jed?"
Jed says, "You remember that woman that came by here about forty years
ago and showed us the ways of the world?"
"Yeah," says Luke, "I remember."
"Well, do you care if she gets pregnant?" asks Jed.
"Nope," says Luke, "I reckon not".
"Me, neither," says Jed, "Let's take these things off."
Two rednecks decide it is time to make something of themselves, so they
decide to go back to school. The first one goes in to see the interviewer.
Interviewer: You'll have to take several courses including math, history,
and logic.
Redneck: Math and history I heard of, but what's logic?
Inter: I'll give you an example. Do you own a weedeater?
Red: Yep.
Inter: Well, then logic tells me that you probably have a yard.
Red: I do have a yard.
Inter: Well, if you have a yard, logic tells me you probably have a
house.
Red: You're right, I do have a house.
Inter: Again, if you have a house, logic tells me that you probably have
a wife.
Red: I do have a wife. How'd you know that?
Inter: And now, if you have a wife, logic would tell me that you are
heterosexual.
Red: Amazin.' I am heterosexual. This logic stuff is incredible. I
gotta tell my buddy about this.
So, the redneck goes out and tells his friend that he is all signed up
for school and is taking math, history, and logic.

Red: Well, I'll give you an example. Do you own a weedeater?
Friend: No.
Red: You're gay, ain't ya?

Redneck Etiquette

PERSONAL HYGIENE
Unlike clothes and shoes, a toothbrush should never be a hand-me-down item.
While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in
private using one's OWN truck keys.
Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if
you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money.
Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to
detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the tastes of finger foods.
Plucking unwanted nose hair is time-consuming work. A cigarette lighter and a
small tolerance for pain can accomplish the same goal and save hours. Its a
good idea to keep a bucket of water handy when using this method.
DINING OUT
When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so
as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine. If drinking directly from the
bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.
Remember to leave a generous tip for good service. After all, their mobile
home costs just as much as yours.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a
taxidermist.
Do not allow the dog to eat at the table...no matter how good his manners
are.
Be considerate of your guests. Point out in advance where
the injury-threatening springs are located on the sofa.
If your dog falls in love with a guest's leg, have the decency to leave them
alone for a few minutes.
DATING (Outside the Family)
Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
No matter how broke you are, never take your date flowers that were stolen
from a cemetery.
Be aggressive. Let her know you are interested: "I've been wanting to go out
with you since I read that stuff on the men's bathroom wall two years ago."
Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say
10:00. Others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it's the
boy's responsibility to get her to school on time.
If a girl's name does not appear regularly on a bathroom wall, water tower,
or an overpass, odds are good that the date will end in frustration.
Even if you can't get a date, avoid kidnapping. It's bad for your
reputation.
THEATER ETIQUETTE
Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after
the movie has ended.
Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they
can't hear you.
WEDDINGS
Livestock usually is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
Is it okay to bring a date to a wedding? Not if you are the groom.
When dancing, never remove undergarments, no matter how hot it is.
Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you cut.
A bridal veil made of window screen is not only cost effective but also a
proven fly deterrent.
For the groom, at least rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a
clean bowling shirt can create a natty appearance. Though uncomfortable, say
yes to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded and
the deer is in sight.
When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always
has the right of way.
Never tow another car using pantyhose and duct tape.
When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask
her to bring back beer.
Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving.
Do not remove the seats from the car so that all your kids can fit in.
Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.
TIPS FOR ALL OCCASIONS
Never take a beer to a job interview or ask if they press charges.
Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
Always say "Excuse me" after getting sick in someone else's car.
It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it's considered
tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.
The socially refined never fish coins out of public toilets, especially if
other people are around.
If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
Always provide an alibi to the police for family members.
When asked to deliver the eulogy at a funeral, remember to honor the
deceased. However, don't brag about his romantic exploits, his ability
to hold his liquor, how proficient he was with spray paint, or about
the really wild parties he used to have.

A Redneck Kind of Love

We have a love that's meant to be,
Ma says that what's called destiny!
Oh, I've dated fellers, purdy near a few;
But they can't hold a lit up matchstick to you.
I'd always dreamed I'd love a sailor,
Then I saw you outside my trailer!
In your John Deere cap and overalls,
I knew for sure in love I'd fall.
You smiled and I stared in disbelief,
I like a man with no front teeth!
Some lovers ask for the sun and moon,
But all you want is pa's spittoon.
Your love is true, strong as a rock,
Kinda like your pickup that sits on blocks.
So just let them gossip bees keep buzzin';
Yep, you and me are kissin' cousins!

A Redneck Goes to The Movies: "Return of the Jet-Guy"

It starts out with Luke the Skywriter goin' to see his little buddy Yodel,
who up and kicks the bucket right after Luke shows up. That don't set too
well with Luke, and he jumps in his ride and bawls a hide outta there.
Then he goes to out to a little honky tonk on the far side of town,
where Layla is makin' eyes at Hands-so-Low (must be a Indian name). He was
stuck in a big ole hunk of roofin' tar, but she melted it off of him. She
could probably melt ice at the north pole, come to think of it. Anyway, they
git in a real big fight with Joe-bob the Hut, and Luke up and kills his big
ole ugly dog. That really ticks off Joe-bob, so he drags all of 'em out in the
desert to toss 'em in a hole. All except Layla, that is. He's got her all
decked out in some kinda skimpy outfit, and chained her up.
Then Luke, the beepin' little robot, and Princess Layla commence to
kick Joe-bob's butt. The prissy gold-plated Tin Man is just whinin' all the
time about this and that, and Chews Terbacca starts in howlin.' They dang
near fall in the hole, but they finally whipped out the six shooters, and it
was a fine fandango for a while. Layla choked Joe-Bob's fat neck with her
chain, then they set his place on fire, and hauled tater in one of his cars.
They meet up somewhere else with a bunch of Layla's weird friends,
and decide to go blow up this big thing called the death star. They split up,
some of 'em ride out to the death star, while the rest spy out the base. They
go race some space-Harleys through the trees, Layla gets knocked on her butt,
and they meet up with about a billion lil' fuzzy Teddy bears with spears.
While Layla was out havin' fun ridin' through the trees, Luke went
to see his ole man, Darcy Vader. They argued for a while about who was on
whose side, and his ole man said he didn't care at all, and dragged Luke's
skraggly carcass up to see Sparky, the emperor. This ole bird looked like he
had just ate a king-size dill pickle. He didn't have a kind word to say to
anybody, and spent a lot of time telling Luke he had done screwed up.
As they were havin' it out, Hands-so-low, Chews Terbacca, Layla, and
about a billion little teddy bears with spears were out knockin' heads with a
big bunch of Sparky's space cops at the base. They kicked their butts real
good, then they really showed 'em by blowin' up their still.
Then Luke and Darcy got into it with space swords, and Darcy got the
worst of it. That really got Sparky ticked, and he commenced to zappin' Luke
with lightning over and over. Darcy just stood there watchin' the whole thing,
I guess he was thinkin' back to when Luke was a brat and spit up on his new
black shiny boots. Anyway, when Sparky said he was really gonna kill Luke,
Darcy picked him up and tossed him down a hole, and Sparky musta zapped
a gas line, cause he got blowed up. But Sparky had hit Darcy a couple good
shots, because he up and died.
Luke was cryin' about his dad, and dragged Darcy's big ole dead
carcass into a fast ride and got out of dodge just before the whole place
blew up. Then he toasted Darcy Viking-style, and he and his friends had
a shin-dig that went on all night.

Rules of The South

1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use
it.
2. If you forget a Southerner's name, refer to him (or her) as
"Bubba." You have a 75% chance of being right. Only the upper class
name their boys "Rufus."

3. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the
cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain
will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of
their way. This is what they live for.
4. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.
5. Do not buy food at the movie store.
6. If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking, let alone
eating.
7. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is
plural possessive.
8. There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern
accent, unless it is a southerner imitating a Boston accent.
9. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
10. People walk slower here.
11. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't
understand you either.
12. The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted
Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "Big ol'," as in "big ol'
truck" or "big ol' boy." Eighty-five percent begin their new
southern influenced dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are
in denial about it.
13. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
14. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.
15. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay
out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever
say.
16. Most Southerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those
who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a
southern license plate, you may rest assured that the blinker was
on when the car was purchased.
17. Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their
car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers.
18. The winter wardrobe you always brought out in September can wait
until January. It's back in the closet by February.
19. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the
most minuscule accumulation of snow, your presence is required at
the local grocery store. It does not matter if you need anything
from the store, it is just something you're supposed to do.
20. Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you
purchase one it is to be positioned directly in front of your
trailer. This is logical, bearing in mind that the dish cost
considerably more than the trailer and should, therefore, be
displayed.
21. Florida is not technically considered a southern state. There are
far more Yankees than Southerners living here.
22. As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone,
directly in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned
to drive on a model of vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the
proper speed and lane position for the vehicle. Either that, or
they're Northerner old retired folks who move down here to drive real
slow.
